Microsoft's SharePoint Conference 2014 is almost at the midway point and, other than sleep, there's quite a bit to show for it. With Sunday's winter storm threatening to delay our arrival, the Fpweb.net Road Crew was forced to change flights from an early Sunday departure to Saturday afternoon, landing us at the Venetian reception right before dinner.

Recently Microsoft announced that InfoPath as a forms solution for SharePoint and Office 365 were to cease to exist. In my opinion this is great, because I never really liked InfoPath and it wasn't very widely adopted in any organization I've ever worked with.

Author: Tobias Zimmergren www.zimmergren.net | www.sharepointdiscussions.com | www.pointbird.com | @zimmergren What can I say; Microsoft is doing a killer job with Office 365 and their cloud offerings in general. Today during the SharePoint Conference 2014 Keynote, they discussed some of the highlighted new features for SharePoint, Office 365 and related technologies.

If you've followed the chatter coming out of the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, you've probably heard of Microsoft's new framework, Office Graph and Project Oslo, a new search-driven app built on Office Graph.

As customers gather this week for the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas and Convergence in Atlanta, I want to update you on our enterprise social vision and road map-including several new announcements. The world has become a giant network Over the last few years, the world has become a giant network, and social media has rewired the way we connect with people and information.

I've skipped every SPC so far, this wasn't any differentAs a small business, I cannot justify the cost of 5 days off of work, hotels, airtickets, plus I am working putting out fires as they speak.But I am glad you are at SPC.

Tuesday morning at the SharePoint conference people packed the room for the news on the updated Forms Strategy from Microsoft. Since the announcement that InfoPath 2013 would be the last release, the community has been waiting to see what would come next.

Having just returned from the mind-blowing SharePoint Conference 2014 at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, I wanted to get my thoughts and impressions down while they were still relatively fresh. A LOT went down these past 5 days, and there's no way I'm going to cover it all, but here goes!

It's an exhilarating time for our industry, our company, and for Office. At the last SharePoint Conference we talked about technology megatrends that are changing the way people work: cloud, social, mobile, and big data. These trends are still alive and well today, and they are active change agents in markets, industries, and companies across the world.

Today at the SharePoint Conference, we announced huge investments in making Office 365 a robust platform on which developers can build amazing solutions. As a developer, you have new scenarios to create contextual solutions that span Office 365 from the web, mobile apps and Office.

SharePoint Conference 2014 kicked off this morning and the vendors are wasting no time announcing new releases. OpenText started the ball rolling with the release of OpenText Microsoft SharePoint Services (SPS) for Extended ECM for SAP Solutions. The combined solution brings together the worlds of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

Summary: Microsoft officials are confirming that InfoPath is at the end of the road and a new, still unreleased forms technology will be taking its place. As had been rumored for a while, Microsoft is discontinuing its InfoPath electronic forms product. Company officials confirmed the news in a January 31 post to the Office Blogs site.

A big shakeup at the top of the Microsoft org chart is reportedly taking place as Tony Bates and Tami Reller are said to be leaving the company. The report comes from Kara Swisher who was a leading source of information about the naming of Satya Nadella as Microsoft's CEO which means this report, is likely accurate.

I have spent many many hours working as a SharePoint Developer Architect and Consultant for lots of organisations in the UK such as the NHS, Tarmac, O2, Lloyds of London, Lloyds TSB, BT etc.

More recently, I spend all my time either marketing or developing DocRead for SharePoint. Strange mix I know, but I still love to develop so I always make sure I keep my hand in.

When I am not telling the world about DocRead, I am very active in the SharePoint community and am one of the co-founders of the SharePoint-Community.net. I also moderate the 2nd largest SharePoint group on LinkedIn.
